Literally never heard about this event before today.
Does it federate with Lemmy?
Edit: Ok that post comes from piefed itself. I have answered my own question.
Absolutely! This thread is posted by a PieFed user (and developer) in a PieFed community, and I’m responding to you from PieFed right now. :)
Why not Lemmy?
Because of you
Yeah, fair enough.
Not you. We like you.
Piefed needs a cute mascot
I’m not wed to the logo, by any means
To be fair it depends what kind of pie it is.
Are you wed to the name?
Not really, no.
Seems like an asshole/ego move to fork Lemmy rather than contribute to it when Lemmy is an ongoing project
Ignoring the fact piefed isn’t a lemmy fork.
Are you really going to argue that forking an existing project because you want to take it a different way is an asshole move?
Also ignoring the same fact.
I mean in a way they’re not wrong. This open source fragmentation is an actual nightmare at this point…
Buuuuut considering who the lemmy devs are I will gladly move to Piefed when I can actually easily host my own instance.
Open source is all about fragmentation. It’s a natural result of freedom.
Sure, if everybody pulled the same direction on the same project and successfully coordinated their cooperative effort while agreeing on everything and also having the perfect™ vision for the project, that would be great.
But that’s just not gonna happen, for a million reasons. So instead, we get diversity, and people can use the software that fits them, and develop what they’re interested in in the language of their choosing. Thank god.
Fork no but it literally says a lemmy clone on its GitHub page. Also doesn’t seem very active.
So what you don’t what foss mean? There’s 1000 flavor of Ubuntu.
Diversity is good
Yes, it is generally good, but if we want a viable alternative to the sub-based AI platform, then we need more users, not more platforms.
The platforms are federated and use the same protocol, it doesn’t matter
